People Like Us Trailer

The directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman has the feel of a Cameron Crowe movie and to me that's a good thing. Elizabeth Banks has an earthy charm that really adds to her prettiness and she has acting chops to boot, and Chris Pine to me is leading the pack of young male actors looking to take Tom Cruise's mantle as top box office draw. The film will make a nice change of pace amidst the action heavy summer schedule

From DreamWorks Pictures comes 'People Like Us,' a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine ('Star Trek') as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father's estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father's last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about this family--and re-examine his own life choices in the process
